It sounds like an impressive piece of electronics, Chris! I just have a laptop and my backup little notebook, both several years old. I can get YouTube and do homework (transferred through a flash drive), so I'm cool. But if you can write on the screen with a stylus, that's really tantalizing! We do proofreading with a stylus at work, but my work computer is too old to adapt to that, so I have to use the Adobe edit feature and try to manipulate the mouse. Very much more frustrating than being able to circle the text with a hand motion and a "pencil." I'm officially jealous of you.

To make me even more jealous: I have a work buddy who has an electronic pad like yours (though an Apple brand, I think). He is a singer and just calls up a piano keyboard to find his note when he wants to practice.

Dont be too jealous. I dont have a smart phone, my Samsung doesnt work except in WiFi, and it is only the $179 version. I got it cause I travel alot and if you are on a motorcycle near the great plains or on the front range of the Rockies, you can pull into a Starbucks, McDonalds or library and check the weather radar loop for bad weather. Plus send an e-mail or two which I can also do with my semi smart phone too if I have coverage. But the Samsung might be fun at skating events....too bad I cant post pics here but I can put them on my website and post a link for nats and worlds....no promises but we shall see how far I get through the 244 page owners manual before Omaha...http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/...cpZZ1QQtppZZ36

Yes, a good way of putting it. I lived (existed) in Illinois for 40 years....now its payback time.
Every year when I go back to Oshkosh Wisconsin for the Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in, I am sick for about
two days due to the heat and humidity....then I am ok.
